Over the past 18 months, we've been growing increasingly concerned for the future of all life on planet earth. Sure, the signs that things have been going 'south' have been there for some time, but our concern began in earnest at the very beginning of 2011, when masses of birds began to fall deadfrom the skyaround the world. The phenomenon continued for several months, and birds around the world are still dying for officially unknown reasons. None of the dead birds showed any sign of disease, but in several incidents birds were found to have 'external injuries' like they had been "hit by some kind of blunt instrument". All sorts of explanations for the deaths were offered (like fireworks or birds colliding with each other) including the predictable attempts by 'science experts' to downplay any significance to the bizarre deaths. But among the flurry of speculation, one report stood out.

NewsChannel5 Chief Meteorologist Mark Johnson decided to take a look at the the Doppler radar images from Beebe, Arkansas from the night when many red-winged blackbirds had fallen dead to the ground, and he discovered something interesting.

"There it was. This huge plume of turbulence over the Beebe birds just as they began their frenzied flight," Johnson said.

The turbulence appears above the birds between about 7,000 and 12,000 feet. Johnson realized there are only a few possible explanations for this phenomena.

Having homed in on the probable cause, Johnson then introduced some nonsense:

"Birds don't fly that high, and he quickly ruled out military action, a sonic boom, meteor shower or alien invasion."

While we can understand why Johnson ruled out military action or a sonic boom (there were no flights over the area at the time), Johnson never explained why he ruled out a "meteor shower", although we can understand the inclusion of "alien invasion" - to ridicule by association the idea of a "meteor shower" or other meteorite-related phenomenon.

Johnson then went on to say:

"Something in the atmosphere, something mysterious, occurred over Beebe, Arkansas that night... And I believe it was part of what caused those birds to fly and then die."

Indeed, but with the answer staring him in the face, Johnson lost the plot completely:

Johnson's research captured an unseen temperature reversal just above the birds' roosting area at about 1,500 feet above the ground. This temperature "inversion" acted like a megaphone, amplifying all the noises that occurred in Beebe at that time. As the fireworks exploded, the sound was amplified by the inversion and became much louder than normal. This appears to have startled the birds so much that they burst into flight, running into each other, and nearby buildings. Thousands of the now-disoriented birds then crashed to the ground, dying from blunt force trauma.

The Doppler radar image used by Johnson to explain the bird deaths. We have added the blue-green arrow to illustrate the trajectory of a meteor reaching that altitude before exploding in the lower atmosphere.

Temperature reversal? At 1,500 feet? But previously Johnson stated that the 'turbulence' occurred between 7,000 and 12,000 feet. He even produced a graph of the Doppler radar images that shows this. While temperature inversion does occur and can amplify sound, when birds are startled by noise they don't generally fly into each other and buildings in large numbers. What's most likely, is that the bird deaths of January 2011 (and later) were caused by an overhead meteorite or comet fragment (MoCF) explosion, with either the actual shock wave killing the birds (through blunt force trauma) or associated electrical effects 'frying' their 'circuits'. This electrical effect can also explain the massive fish die-offs around the same time. Consider this report, just in today, about two children being mysteriously electrocuted to death as they swam in a lake in Missouri on 4th July. The thousands of dead fish found upstream from Beebe on New Year's Eve 2010 could well have had their circuits fried because of significant electrical discharge that accompanied the overhead MoCF airburst. Now check out this Tunguska blast simulation by Sandia lab. An incoming bolide exploding overhead would knock the wind out of anything within a radius relative to the extent of its blast. It would probably knock airplanes out of the sky too - more on that below.

Why do we say that the MoCF explanation is the 'most likely'? Mainly because of the truly massive increase in MoCF sightings and overhead detonations ('booms') over the past number of years. Hardly a week has gone by in the past few years without a reported fireball sighting or unexplained booms rocking houses around the world. In the months prior to and after the bird and fish deaths in January 2011, many such events were reported. Check out Sott.net's fireballs and meteorites blog for further evidence.

So 2011 got off to a very disturbing start, and the rest of the year certainly offered the entire world a chance to sit up and take further notice. But did anyone take it?

There was weird weather all over the place, starting with major freezes and snow storms in the US, UK and Asia and later in the year unprecedented flooding in the US, the UK and China. Earthquakes happen quite often, as do cyclones and volcanic eruptions, but when was the last time that our planet experienced such a confluence of extreme events in a single year? More to the point, what does it all portend? Speaking of earthquakes, did you know that, according to USGS data, there were 103 5.0+ earthquakes detected worldwide between 1980-1999 and there were 366 5.0+ earthquakes detected world-wide between 2000-2011?

As you might (or should) have noticed, the fun didn't end on December 31st 2011. Bizarrely, on the exact same date as the previous year, another boatload of birds fell dead in Beebe, Arkansas in 2012, and another radar image showed a "large mass over Beebe" just before the birds fell. Lightning can strike the same place twice, and so, apparently, can overhead MoCF explosions.

In the first six months of 2012, we've had more freezing weather across the northern hemisphere, with snow as far south as the Sahara desert in February. Summer arrived early in late March in Europe and the Eastern US (for a couple of weeks) and then promptly revertedback to winter with serious implications for this year's crops. This was followed by major flooding in the UK with virtually unprecedented tornadoes and 'super-cell' storms. Standard meteorology blames this chaotic weather on the strange motion of the polar Jet stream, which has been repeatedly pushing south and bringing cold fronts to lower latitudes than normal, but standard meteorology either does not know, or refuses to admit, why the polar Jet Stream is behaving strangely.

In large part, earth's climate is governed by solar (and other cosmic) radiation. This radiation reaches us as charged particles from sunspots, solar flares, filaments, coronal holes, etc. These particles have a direct effect on earth's magnetic field which, in turn, affects the currents of our oceans and Jet Streams, which in turn can cause extreme weather and influence human behavior. While we can observe solar eruptions, etc. much of this radiation is hidden from us and we are left to infer the presence of, or an increase in, such radiation from the effects it has on our planet. Given the chaos that has been reigning on earth for the past few years, we can infer that we are indeed being bombarded with high levels of solar and cosmic radiation. Suffice to say that our planet's climate appears to be gearing up for a radical change, most likely in the form of a new ice age. As recently discovered, the last ice age imposed itself on the Northern hemisphere within the space of a few months.

Tsunami in Japan, March 2011. Two major devastating tsunamis within seven years is clearly pointing to something extraordinary happening.

For example, on June 20th a daylight fireball dazzled Colorado residents as firefighters battled the Springer fire near Lake George in the Pike National Forest in Colorado, one of many out of control, 'apocalyptic' and 'epic' forest fires that have torched suburban neighbourhoods in Colorado Springs. Hundreds of homes have burned to the ground and tens of thousands have been forced to evacuate.

This was one of those "supposedly raredaytimefireballs" (in fact, it was the fourth - that we know of - seen in the US this year), which startled the hell out of firefighters across the state when it careened out of the smoky sky and all aircraft were temporarily grounded. Firefighting aircraft were again grounded on 1st July when a C-130 crashed fighting fires in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The US Air Force immediately ordered all seven of its remaining air tankers to land. There was no suggestion of 'foul play' from MoCFs on this occasion, but just as we were wondering whether or not immediately grounding planes in the event of MoCF sightings has become a matter of policy, we came across the following exercise in damage control. The "final technical report" into why Air France flight 447 crashed into the Atlantic in May 2009 was released today (5th July). The timing of the release of this report, the careful management of news related to this event, the constant obfuscation of the real causes of the crash and the delayed investigations that have taken three years just to tell us it was caused by a combination of "human error" and "technical problems", add serious weight to the conclusion Joe Quinn drew from his analysis in the aftermath of the crash: that Flight 447 was probably destroyed by an MoCF.

Of the June 20th daytime sighting, Chaffee County sheriff W. Peter Palmer received several reports that an MoCF actually hit the ground. Chaffee County Fire Protection District Chief Jim Wingert expressed concern that a piece of the MoCF could start a wildfire. Meteors were seen all over the Midwest, with some reports coming several hours apart, so the earlier reports that the Midwest was hit with a barrage of fireballs seem more accurate than the later 'confirmation' that a single MoCF had shown up. Two commercial aircraft crews reported an incoming MoCF from their vantage point above Kansas, while the Denver Postreported "balls of fire or something in the air".

A large boom was also reported over Colorado recently so another possibility is that a single larger body exploded, showering multiple bolides across a wide area. This Associated Press report comes straight out and states that the MoCF(s) actually started one of the blazes in Colorado. At this point, it seems plausible that all or most of these wildfires were sparked by fireballs raining down from above. Perhaps birds and fish are not the only creatures in the firing line and humans are not so special after all.

If these fires were ignited by 'heavenly fire' the fact that journalists (including this one in Nevada who was actually arrested on-site) have been barred from the devastated zones becomes more understandable. Compounding our suspicion that the US government is racing to put out more than just forest fires is this impeccably timed dispatch from the official 'al Qaeda magazine' Inspire, in which the CIA's favourite 'terrorists' called for jihadists of the world to "torch forests as part of the Islamic war against the West." The Department of Homeland Security apparently had their story planned in advance, claiming that for more than a decade "international terrorist groups and associated individuals have expressed interest in using fire as a tactic against the Homeland to cause economic loss, fear, resource depletion, and humanitarian hardship." Pretty coincidental, eh? Those 'al-qaeda' terrorists really are very useful.

Meanwhile COINTELPRO has been set to work helping the US government deceive the alt.net community with the usual garbage about super-secret (sic) scalar weapons, plasma weapons and HAARP being tested on unwitting Coloradans.

Looking at what was in store for humanity in 2012, Laura Knight-Jadczyk wrote the following in an article published by Sott.net on New Year's Eve 2011: "There is also the possibility of overhead cometary explosions being blamed on terrorism." So here we are, at the halfway mark of 2012, hearing reports that a bolide (or multiple ones) were responsible for the Colorado fires, followed by 'al Qaeda' and the Department of Homeland Security playing their respective roles to 'warn' the sheeple that terrorists are planning large-scale wildfires attacks near densely populated areas across the US.

With fires currently raging from Montana to the Mexican border, fireballs are probably not responsible for igniting all of them. But the tinderbox conditions on the ground are eerily reminiscent of the descriptions of suffocating heat, "spontaneous fires" and "electrical phenomena" during the Chicago Fire (which actually consumed swathes of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Illinois) in 1871, when debris from the tail-end of a comet combined with drought conditions to produce devastating fires in which buildings "burst into flames from the interior".

It's not coincidental that these sudden and extreme heatwaves accompanied by unusually intense electrical storms - in which the sky itself appears aflame - are punctuated with multiplefireballsightings. There doesn't need to be a comet passing close by at this point in time. 'Shooting stars' aka 'meteor showers' are Earth's periodic encounters with dust and debris left behind by comets (or long since disintegrated comets) whose orbits intersect our flight path. With so many unexpected and rare fireballs being seen in the skies, it's safe to assume that we are passing through a lot more cometary debris than 'normal' and that it sure is getting awfully busy in our skies. The mainstream media has basically ignored the warning signs for the past decade, but with fireballs now pelting the planet at an alarming rate, they are having to engage the issue.

One of the themes of the Cassiopaean information, brought up during research that extends back to the 1990s, is planetary destruction via a Comet Cluster that cycles through the solar system every 3,600 years as a consequence of the orbit of our Sun's solar Companion, a smaller, dark Twin Sun, which has set a current running through our solar system and is now producing the noticeable effects - the same pehomena which the geological record shows always precede the advent of an Ice Age. The theory of a solar companion is in fact very mainstream and plausible. Although teams of scientists are trying to locate the Sun's companion, such research has become heavily classified since the US military announced a blackout on scientists' access to satellite data on incoming space rocks, so we don't expect to see headlines announcing its discovery anytime soon.

The Powers That Be will do whatever it takes to prevent the people from realising that there is absolutely nothing big government or their international money masters can do about the cosmic wheels that are now in motion and that present a clearly existential threat to ALL life on earth. In ancient times the instinctive need for 'Authoritarian Followers' to put their trust and faith in an authority was connected to religion - the leaders were authorized by the gods and were society's representative to the gods. When things got bad, societies regularly got rid of the leaders that they saw as NOT being approved by the gods. That is, in any society, the leaders fill a ritual role and when the people perceive that the ritual is not the right one, out goes the leader. That's why 'terrorists' and the threat of war and conflict are so useful to governments today. The established authorities can keep the people dependent on them for protection against a phony threat that they themselves have created. But cosmic bombardment and a sixth extinction from 'on high'? There's nothing they can do about that, and if the people finally realise that, they'll drop their dependency on, and allegiance to, authority in a heart-beat.

In a report commissioned by the US Air Force, British astronomer Victor Clube, author of The Cosmic Serpent and The Cosmic Winter, succinctly summarised the fundamental tenet of geopolitics:

"We do not need the celestial threat to disguise Cold War intentions; rather we need the Cold War to disguise celestial intentions!"

No, Clube wasn't referring to aliens or spacecraft; the 'celestial threat' he was referring to appears in Earth's skies during times of turmoil and social upheaval that are linked to a serious imbalance in human evolution. They also induce all kinds of weird environmental effects, the least of which are those strange sky sounds and other electromagnetic phenomena that are also picking up in frequency and intensity. Flooding the Internet with disinformation about chemtrails has convinced some that governments can master Nature's most powerful forces. For everyone else, there's always the 'terrorist' bogeyman and man-made global warming to remind them why they need Big Brother.

But the true purpose of the phony War on Terror is exposed by the recent bare naked attempt to cover up the real threat from space with the fake threat from al Qaeda. The fascist take-over of the planet this year, foreseen by Laura Knight-Jadczyk who exposed the real meaning of 'the world will end in 2012', is proving remarkably prescient:

If short-period bombardment of our planet by comets or comet dust is a reality (as it increasingly appears to be); and the effects of such an event are deleterious in the extreme; and if we are in fact overdue for a repeat performance of such a visitation (which also appears to be the case); what effect might public awareness of this have on the status quo on the planet at present? Would the bogus "war on terror" not become instantly obsolete and would people across the planet not immediately demand that their political leaders reassess priorities and take whatever action possible to mitigate the threat? And if those political leaders refused to do so and it became known that that this grave threat to the lives of billions was long-standing and common knowledge among the political elite (with all that that implies), what then? Revolution? One last hurrah before the 6th extinction?

Who knows. We only know that this knowledge, in its fullest explication, is being suppressed and marginalized.

The fact of the matter is that our planet and everything on it comprises an intelligent and living system that has designed into it a mechanism through which any imbalance in any aspect of the system can be dealt with. Consider the way in which animal populations are naturally kept in check via predators or disease. This mechanism is designed to protect the overall system and prevent any one aspect from compromising the evolutionary goals of the system itself. Humans have evolved to the point where they have no natural predators, and while disease still kills many human beings each year, modern medicine has succeeded (so far) in preventing a pandemic from wiping out the human race. But it would be foolhardy for anyone to think that the 'living system' has overlooked human beings when it comes to redressing any imbalance caused by human beings that threatens the aim of the overall living system. We trust that what we have written here provides ample evidence that it has not.

We also hope that it is fairly clear that human beings, as a species on planet earth, have reached a point of serious imbalance, both in terms of their effect on the planet and on other living beings on it, and in terms of humanity's own proper evolution which can be defined as evolution in knowledge and consciousness. Clearly, humanity today has stalled in its evolution. Indeed it appears to be back-sliding at an alarming rate, due primarily to the influence of the deviant ideology spread by psychopaths in positions of power around the world. We need only consider the fact that billions of people today have bought into and support the lie that is the psychopathic 'war on terror', which has as its goal the murder and domination of as many innocent people as possible. What does that fact alone (among many other deceptions that people have bought in to) say about the level of knowledge and awareness of the human race as a whole?

Happy belated Independence Day to our American readers, we hope everyone enjoyed the fireworks, whatever their provenance.

I have been tracking the incidence of reported fireballs over the US for over a year now, since the increase first caught my notice. Mind these figures are for US only, a fraction of global events.

Working from the ams.org database, and researching prior reports going back a century, what I found was that the reported fireball incidence has held steady at around 1.2-1.3 per day for a very long time.

Beginning in 2006 we see the following pattern of steady increases, save for 2009:

I am beginning to suspect that the "Mayan" calendar, which is not really Mayan, since they inherited it from the Olmec, who got it from who knows where, is actually a countdown calendar the pinpoints an intersection with the dense stream of cometary fragments that caused the Younger Dryas period some 12.5K years ago.

My reasoning is that if the impacts that likely killed the megafuana and Clovis culture occurred over a period of time, say months, instead of hours, then it is possible that those people or more properly, the survivors,were able to figure out the orbit, and that orbit was very long.

If you knew that something devasting was going to return may thousands of years later, how do you warn the future?

About the only thing that might possibly stand the test of time would be a calendar system. So if you construct the calendar to end at the beginning of the intersection, there is some small hope that people will be prompted to pay greater attention to things around them and pick up on the warning signs. Small hope, but better than nothing.

For what it is worth, that's my theory.

I hope I'm wrong, but with the fireball incidence rising as fast as it is doing, I'm not so sure I am. I think we are now entering the front of a dense cloud of rocks or comet fragments that will intensify come December.

I think that the increase has a lot to do with the freaky global weather; so much extra energy is being put into the upper and middle layers of the atmosphere and that energy is being expressed in the weather. Not to mention that we are heating the bottom pretty hard ourselves. Combined with extra solar input from higher sunspot activity, the totality seems to predict some very bad weather ahead.

Most folk worry about a big asteroid smashing into the planet and killing evreything in fell swoop. Me, I worry about the shotgun blast effect of many much smaller fragments impacting over a long period of time.

Excellent, thank you! Do you have a blog? You should develop your research into a paper or article of some kind.

Sott.net suspects that the Powers That Be have had it figured out for some time but are keeping this information to themselves. As part of covering it up, they have instead been spreading disinfo in recent years about 2012 being a 'record year' for geomagnetic storms and other 'turbulence' due to it being the beginning of solar maximum.

An electric furnace is then typically used to heat the nickel ore until it melts. The melting point of nickel is 2,647° Fahrenheit (1,453° Celsius), so powerful furnaces must be used. Most often, nickel smelting occurs with flash smelting, in which electricity and oxygen are combined to quickly reach the high temperature needed. Nickel ore must melt until it becomes a product known as liquid matte, which is usually around 45 percent nickel and 55 percent slag or other metals. Slag is typically removed because it can be sold to other industries and because it cannot be refined any further.

The next process in nickel smelting is refining the liquid matte, which is typically done with one of two processes. With fluid bed roasting, sulfides are added to the liquid matte and the two are roasted together, eventually leaving just the nickel metal. The other process is chloride-hydrogen reduction, in which the liquid matte is kept around 1,742° F (950° C) until a reaction occurs from the heat and the liquid matte turns into just nickel.

After the nickel smelting is complete, and the nickel has cooled, it is then used for many different purposes. Nickel is commonly used as an alloying agent with steel and other metals, because it is corrosion-resistant and has high polish, or it sold as is to other industries so they can make various products. It also is used to hydrogenate vegetable oils, along with batteries and magnets.
To the best of our knowledge the chemical, physical and toxicological properties of nickel oxide have not been thoroughly investigated and recorded.
Nickel is a confirmed carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic, neoplastigenic, tumorigenic and teratogenic data, and is a poison by ingestion, intratracheal, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous and intravenous routes. An experimental teratogen. Ingestion of soluble salts causes nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Hypersensitivity to nickel is common and can cause allergic contact dermatitis, pulmonary asthma, conjunctivitis and inflammatory reactions around nickel-containing medical implants and prosthesis. Cancer develops in rodents after administration of Ni3S2, NiO or Ni (Co4). Pulmonary damage develops in rodents chronically exposed to aerosols of nickel dust, NiO2 or NiO. (Sax, Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, eighth edition.)
Acute Effects:
Inhalation: May cause irritation to the upper respiratory tract, mucous membranes and nasal cavities. May cause pulmonary asthma attacks.
Ingestion: Nickel is poison by ingestion. Large doses may cause intestinal disorders, convulsions and asphyxia.
Nickel carbonyl is a most surprising molecule. That a metal like nickel, without any special preparation, should react directly with carbon monoxide to form a stable gaseous molecule, was something quite unexpected when it was first discovered in the late 19th century - and it took 70 years for a good understanding to emerge of why nickel carbonyl, and other metal carbonyls, were stable.

During my PhD, I was in a lab experimenting on structure, bonding and reactivity of metal carbonyls. One of the first things I was given to read when I started was the summary of the toxicological effects of nickel carbonyl. I learned, with some concern, that at 30ppm it was certainly fatal, and even a significantly lower dose of 3ppm caused death in 50 per cent of a group of test animals.

When you breathe it in, it decomposes, giving you a dose of carbon monoxide and depositing some nickel on your lungs. If you survive the first few hours, the nickel causes a form of pneumonia, coughing, breathlessness, extreme fatigue. This lasts for several days, often resulting in cardiovascular or renal failure and death. I was relieved to find that the safety precautions in the lab were extremely rigorous.

This surprising molecule is not very human friendly in others ways too: its vapours can autoignite and there have been studies as to whether small quantities of nickel carbonyl, inhaled over time, can cause lung cancer. This research was prompted by the idea of trace amounts of nickel in cigarette smoke, and the possibility of nickel carbonyl being the carcinogen rather than nicotine and tars - a study with inconclusive results.

(enough Google-rips) I have just been studying the elements of the periodic table for my personal enlightenment and trying to remember cross synergise with the introduction of the electric universe implications, the atmosphere as a laboratory producing plasma grade smelting potential, the presence of nickel in many meteors, and the reactivity of nickel with carbon monoxide and hydrogen is giving me pause for thought...

Worrall, they are probably not "cloaked space ships." We are being serious here about serious research. It does no one any good for some off-the-wall nonsense about "cloaked UFOs". If that is how you see things, really, please go get your news and commentary elsewhere.

We have a saying in Turkish : "Stones will rain on our heads." This means that when the country is ruled very badly or people act real badly and mean, the cosmos or god etc. will react in some way showing its displeasure. It has sure started raining stones and fiery ones.

This relating the rulers of a country to the fate of the country vis a vis celestial events - things from the sky - is as old as human societies. The PTB know this and that is why they want to keep a lid on things. They would rather the masses think that they are modifying weather with HAARP or chemtrails - which leaves them in control - than for people to know that what is happening is completely out of their control. Because, of course, when people see that the cosmos is acting against them, they always blame their leaders! In ancient times, under such circumstances, the priest king who was clearly not "ritually pure" would have been sacrificed and a new king put in his place in an effort to appease the gods. Constantine's imposition of Christianity was an act of exactly this sort: there were comets, famines, plague and he was just pushing every button he could think of to try to get things to settle down.

interesting article and i must say i share almost the same views starting years ago. you see, in square meter can stay up to 5~6 persons very tight. all mankind will occupy then aprox. 35 x 35 km of land. that isn't too much we can be worried about. 1% is worrying about that number. because 35 x35 km people is sick of inequality and wants bigger share from 1%. 1% can't control 5 billion unhappy people and dont want share wealth with them. to control half billion , maybe is possible... watching animal planet we can see lions and his prey drinking water from same pool at modest distance and nobodys running , no killings , no nothing, because lion is not hungry. everything is perfectly in order. balanced. lion kill only once and that is when is hungry. *humans * are killing allways and constantly and mostly is becuse of some kind of bussiness camouflaged with food, terrorism, patriotism, profit, anything that *mind* can find adeqate label. and it is for 1%. i am shure that mankind in this highly militarized civilization cannot survive any global catastrophe. weapons produced today are only ones made to last for a long and some old hand tools too. anything else *made in china* is made to last 5~10 years (if) and that is because it is made for making profit...during that time after supposed global catastrophy smart people who have valuable knowledge, because of age, will probably forgot most of knowledge. CD's and other storage media, computers, made to last 5 years (because of profit of course) will became unusable and young generations will start to build new civilizations with just fragments of todays knowledge. they will be on begining. again. hand tools and new old stock weapons will shape new future. i think only solution for survival with or without global catastrophe is personal revolution. a personal revolution inside each humang being. it is something like muslims use to call as "holly war", jihad , i think. originaly it is name for "war" that one have to fight deep inside own being to access divine purpose in life. of course, "holly war" today is translated - kill Americans!
and then answer is carpet bombings. and whole chaos because people read holly books as they read comics. i dont know, seems to hopeless sometimes.

Leaving aside the apocalyptic cosmology of looking at the sky
when the danger is down here on Earth...let's face it:
the sixth extinction is cooking here,
on earth, by humans,
specifically by the apostles of the Manifest of Destiny.
PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS is very concise and empirical about it,
about the Reign of Fire that at the speed of lightning is comming to us:

Can The World Survive Washington’s Hubris?
by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
[Link]

(.............)

"The evidence is simply overwhelming that Washington--both parties--have Russia and China targeted."

"...To simultaneously take on two nuclear powers is an act of Insanity."

"The world has never in its entire history witnessed such idiocy. The psychopaths, sociopaths, and morons who prevail in Washington are leading the world to destruction"

"The criminally insane government in Washington, regardless whether Democrat or Republican, regardless of the outcome of the next election, is the greatest threat to life on earth that has ever existed."

"Moreover, the only financing the Washington criminals have is the printing press. In a subsequent column I will examine whether the US economy will complete its collapse before the war criminals in Washington can destroy the world..."

PD:
I know, I know this comment is not correlated to the article,
but in the sense that it represents the "per se"
the observation of an imminent danger
of the Reign of Fire here on Earth
...is also correlated to the article on such terms.

Who knows its all speculation. But yes I will take you up on the please go "get your news and commentary elsewhere". If your going to act like an over zelous irate mother & father everytime I might post a comment on sott then perhaps the best thing all round is to delete my account as I dont have that control this side.

Great info. Been seeing this myself, but not had the time / incentive to do the work. THANKS for correlating it - great job.

Now, two URL's that (although speculative, sort of) put another perspective on the whole scene... a bigger one indeed...

I have a nasty feeling that we are looking right down the barrel of how this mess that we laughingly call civilisation will collapse - within 12 months.

I'm going out tomorrow to buy one of those safety helmets so beloved of politicians on TV - do you think they know something?

Timeline A: 1 June 2013, 12 noon target local time, following the timeline in which the leadership of the mainstream global scientific establishment continues to ignore or deny (1) the reality of the remote-viewing phenomenon, and (2) the existence of life not originating from Earth.

Timeline B: 1 June 2013, 12 noon target local time, following the timeline in which by the end of 2009 leaders of the mainstream global scientific establishment publicly recognize (1) the reality of the remote-viewing phenomenon, and (2) the existence of life not originating from Earth.

Too bad they didn't use more realistic and useful scenarios such as one where the public remains ignorant of psychopathy and another where the public wakes up to the reality of psychopaths in their midst.

My initial reading of this article was hard, also because I had recently read the article, "How is the World Going to End in 2012?." It was troubling for me to think about the future that seemed so uncertain on such a scale and the possibilities of many people dying in the future. I thought about myself, my extended family, friends, family, and humanity, any of whom could die in numerous ways in a near future, that seemed to be more of a possibility than before. Sometimes its hard for me to know how to take envisage a future I guess. I'll go back to reading now.

If we have made people at least consider the possible reality of this scenario, and at least keep it open in their minds as a possibility, and if it makes them at least pay a little more attention to the world around them, then we're happy enough.

to know where humanity is heading towards. Thank you Joe and Niall for putting this all together. It's not until I read this article, that I realized just how fast things are going downhill, and just how very real it is. And to be honest, it scares me. But atleast I know what's going on, as I would rather know the truth, no matter how bleak it looks, than believe and live the lies that are spread like viruses by the PTB... So thanks again for your efforts into this, and for sharing this with us.

Big thanks to Joe and Niall, and also apacheman for the cometary research. A thought popped into my head about solar activity and entering into a potential debris field. Based on some of the electric universe theory, i wonder how much of an effect a continuous loading of our atmosphere with this debris would contribute to earth changes. If i remember correctly, the sun is positive and planets and comets and the such are negative? If the atmosphere is getting loaded with more negative charge, would that set us up for a whopper of a discharge if something took place?

Only recently, astronomers have discovered that most, if not all, celestial objects seem to have an equatorial accretion ring. Saturn's rings are a good example of an accretion ring - though a very 'in ya face' one! Most are much, much less dense.

It is, IMHO, not beyond the bounds of possibility that as we cross the galactic equator, we transit through our Milky Way's accretion ring; this would mean (a) more meteors and probably more comets, and (b) traversing through far more nebulous matter as well, such as fine cosmic dust.

This could loosely be described as 'denser space'. Denser space would equal more friction, for the entire solar system. More friction would mean increased heating. (Slowing rotations too?) (Laura) Is this why the entire Solar system is warming? Is this why the Sun's output has changed?

I am sure my little car's exhaust is not melting the Martian icecaps....

If there is any merit in my ponderings, I'll leave it for more cosmologically knowledgable people to comment on!

Apacheman, thank you for all that tedious work over thankless months. And Laura, thank you for also being a great thinker and connector and masterminding this site. Simply superb.

Skrickov, exactly! Just another thing to "use" to justify killing off more people on the planet while distracting people from the true cause.

In Texas last year with the fires they also had some 'booms'. Some internet sources were saying it was underground wars. There are large networks of caves in Texas, just saying.

Saw a post dated last yr from person in Florida saying the heat was unnatural as the tropical plants were not flourishing in it like normal tropic heat. I too say it is not natural. The other day saw a pic from the Colorado fires, some of those houses were not burned by fire at all. (cnn photos)

BeeT, thank you for that idea, makes sense and wonder how that will manifest.

There's a lot of info in there and with all the excerpts and links it really pulls the readers attention in too many directions at once. If someone hasn't been following Sott regularly for years its difficult to follow.

Humans have evolved to the point where they have no natural predators, and while disease still kills many human beings each year, modern medicine has succeeded (so far) in preventing a pandemic from wiping out the human race.

As much as I respect you guys at sott.net I think you got that part (above) back to front - wrong - but hey, errors are for seeing things more effectively and clearly.

There are some fantastic stories around and you know, some smell really ripe....I dont want to be a bore and I am highly interested in the Cassiopian saga but there seem to be other 'qwelle' saying different and logical things.

The theory that the Colorado fires had to do with bolides clashes with the theory that space weapons were actually the cause because of the evidence of accuracy and incineration of the entire building material, leaving the surrounding grass and trees untouched...anyway hypothesis to theory probably gonna take a lot more evidence.

As far as the incidence of big noise, big bangs, big explosions and big eathquakes etc I have no argument with...but Colorado seems to be a lot more sinister than a spontaneous event from outer space. Liked the article though and the intelligent argument.

Sure, there are always other possibilities. But just to make it clear for others, at this point, the cumulative evidence for 'space-beam precision weapons' or any other form of weather warfare being responsible for what took place in Colorado amounts to zero.

With due respect, there was no cumulative evidence for space beam or any other weapons including bolides....there are a number of possibilties but the selection and complete destruction of certain properties has another angle of suspicion especially in this current paradigm of events global...I look forward to the Cassiopean point of view, too. Keep up the good work - Thankyou

or lack there of. I realise you've put some thought into this article but there seems to be a glaring omission in your hypothesis. If in fact the planet was drifting into a comets debris field there would be increased and accelerated meteor shower activity. I'm a smoker so I'm outside frequently throughout the night (don't smoke in the house). And I have failed to notice any sign of us drifting into a debris field. ie: meteor showers. I suppose it's possible that there are large MoCF's leading the debris field but it seems unlikely. Could you clear this up for me.

Stumbled across your site through a link in a HuffPo comment. Interesting and I look forward to reading other articles.

Well! It would seem after browsing your site I've answered my own question. The next question is "Does anyone have a missile silo for sale"
To be quite frank I think the planet could use a reset anyway. Hopefully the survivors of this next NEE are capable of getting it right and retain enough knowledge to point humanity in the right direction.

I just witnessed a large meteor travelling north-south in Southeastern Ontario approx 3AM EST. No apparent shock-wave so probably at very high altitude. It was orange-red in colour and had a similarly coloured tail.
